12 district units of Samajwadi Party dissolved

The ruling Samajwadi Party state president Naresh Uttam has dissolved 12 district units of the party after approval of the president Akhilesh Yadav. A release issued by Naresh Uttam said that the units have been disbanded along with their presidents and new presidents have been nominated in their place. 

The dissolved district units are Ballia, Mau, Sitapur, Basti, Bahraich, Gonda, Baghpat, Hapur, Muzaffarnagar, Mahoba, Aligarh and Ghaziabad.It is being seen as an apparent move



of Akhilesh Yadav to firm his grip on the basic organisation of the party. The leaders who have been replaced in these twelve districts were either old timers close to Mulayam or were appointed by Shivpal Yadav when he was made state SP chief last year. 

Sources claim that the weeding out process will continue in more districts as Akhilesh Yadav wants a complete and authoritative control over party. Keeping it in view, more heads are likely to roll in the coming days.
